This Dr. Bouw guy has grossly misinterpreted Michelson's and Morley's failed experiment to detect optical aether (pronounced ee-ther). The experiment had nothing to do with geocentricism. It was thought that light was a wave, like ocean waves or sound waves, so it would be unable to pass through empty space. The optical aether was postulated as an extremely rarefied substance filling all of space allowing for the propagation of light waves. One failed attempt to detect the aether does not disprove it's existence any more than a single failed Bigfoot hunt disproves the existence of Bigfoot.

In the words of a beloved professor: "The only thing Michelson and Morley proved was that big rocks float on mercury in Cleavland." :lol:

For those interested in the experiment and it's many follow ups, look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson-Morley_experiment


I would also like to point out the geocentric theory of seasons posited in the second video works only for an observer near the equator. When observed from a polar region, a single solar day lasts for six months followed by a single solar night. Around the solstice (noon of the single day) the sun holds the center of the sky with only a slight wobble. As winter (night) approaches the wobble becomes pronounced and the sun assumes a circular path in the sky that eventually sinks below the horizon.

The geocentric seasons explanation from the second video would require  considerable modification to account for empirical evidence gathered from the north and south poles.

Lets just also mention the famous Foucault pendulum experiment. I think it's another good experiment to disprove geocentrism.
